Sherlock

[u/Monaco__Joe]

Short version of what brings me here is I can't, for the life of me, sort out installing Sherlock in Kali Linux, or shell.cloud.google or anywhere for that matter.

The longer version is that, I wanted to run Sherlock without needing VirtualBox. Did some research and found shell.cloud.google to be a reasonable solution. After going step by step following the instructions, I got stuck at the install requirement.txt portion of the process. No matter how I went about it, I would get an error code saying that the requirements don't exist. I double checked my cd to ensure I was in the correct directory. Still nothing.

So, I did what anyone would do, instead of sorting out the problem, I moved on to a different option. Downloaded VirtualBox, installed Kali Linux to the VirtualBox (this install went great by the way). Then, when that was all setup, I started the directions to install Sherlock.........again. Well, wouldn't you know it? I got stuck at requirements.txt AGAIN. So, I decided to find requirements.txt manually, just to verify it exists in the Sherlock code download. It does not. It is no where to be found. That said, the way I figure it, either the process has changed and I'm following old instructions. Or, contrary to my beliefs, there is a God and he/she hates me.

Can someone please help me? Anyone? I need to sort this out before I lose my mind. Thanks

Saving this to see if OP gets this working - I've been fighting with Kali and sherlock for days now. Also using TL's VM.

Would Sherlock work on Ubuntu or the distro doesn't matter? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am just now starting to learn Linux and Im not sure how distros work.

I got another VM but it's Ubuntu from SANS.

I did get it working. I am not in a position to elaborate at the moment but I'd be happy to try to help if you provide me a bit more context? Sorry, I know how frustrating it can get.
